Governor's Mansion Heavily Damaged by Fire

If you've watched Texas news today (or even many of the national broadcasts), you've probably seen the devastating fire suffered by the Texas Governor's Mansion in the early hours of this morning. Already suspected as arson, the fire caused substantial damage to the historic structure which dates back over 150 years. The mansion was undergoing a renovation so the historic furnishings were in storage off site.
